Help Us with Wheelchair Van Payments
Donation protected
Our family lives and works in coastal California, from Pt Reyes to Bodega Bay. A local non-profit has been kind enough to help us set up this Go Fund Me page. We feel very blessed to live among these wonderful and generous people.
My name is Ernesto Orozco. I have five awesome children. Two of my sons have Muscular Dystrophy.
My oldest son is 19 and attends a local college. My 17-year-old son is a junior in high school. Both of my sons are confined to wheelchairs.
Muscular Dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. It is a progressive disease, with no known cure at this time. Our other children, ages 21,15, and 9 are gratefully, all healthy. They are also in college and school.
I am asking for help to raise $35,000 that I borrowed to replace our family van with a previously owned van that can accommodate two wheelchairs. Here is our story:
Our family had a van that was equipped for wheelchairs, but our family was in a car accident recently, and the van was totaled. We received some insurance money for the damaged van but it's not nearly enough to purchase another vehicle that must be adapted to accommodate two wheelchairs.
We are an extremely hard-working family. I work at least 6 days a week and many hours per day. My wife works at home to keep us all fed, clean and organized while serving as a "taxi" for our five children. In addition, my wife raises chickens and volunteers at our church. My oldest daughter works and attends college full time. However, our resources and income are very limited. We live modestly and have a strong faith in God.
Any amount that is donated to our needs is deeply appreciated. Our family is currently struggling to make the van payments. The van is the only way that we can ride together as a family. Our faith is strong and we firmly believe that we will make our goal.
Our sincere thanks,
The Orozco Family
